These two words, when seen together, can cause panic amongst new cruise ship vacationers who don’t know what they’re about to get themselves into.

Just a little bit of E.Coli can cause significant gastronomical distress on a cruise ship, and no amount of handwashing or Purell will erase the memory of a vacation gone bad in the aftermath of spending day upon day stuck (almost literally) to your stateroom toilet.

You’ll be lucky if you have a balcony – at least then you’d be able to air out the room and maybe see a little bit of the sights inbetween your bathroom runs.

We all know the common diet theory of drinking eight glasses of water a day. (We’ve heard variations on this that say that eight glasses is a misnomer, and you need to take your weight and divide that by 2 to give you the number of ounces of water to drink a day).

Regardless, you’re still drinknig a ton of water, no matter how you cut it.

But every body is different, so how do you know if you’re drinking enough water at all?

You’ve had to go, and you’ve had to go bad – and you’re not at home where it’s typically safe to do so.

Look, everyone does it — we just don’t want to share that fact with our friends, neighbors, or family. Web Watch was talking with a couple the other day who did not have the pleasure of living with each other before getting married. On their honeymoon was the first time that either had experienced The Smell from the other… and she made him leave the hotel room while she took care of her business.

But, as life happens, so does having to use the office bathroom at some point during your work day. (What, you’re going to go down the street to the McDonald’s? No, you’re going to do your business in the more immediate area. You know you will.)

College-aged fraternity guys have been known to “pee like a race horse” after (or during) some beer events at the house.

Let’s think about that phrase for a moment — does it mean you’re peeing as much as a racehorse would? Are you peeing in the same manner that a horse does? Or are you merely peeing while running around a track?

Web Watch has a number of friends who are just beginning the joy of parenthood. For them, this post is for you as your journey begins.

(For those of you considering children in the future, let this be a warning. For those of you who have already successfully raised their children, you may sit back and laugh, nodding your head with the knowledge you have gained over the years.)

Some people are lucky enough to WORK FROM HOME. They think that just because they’re home all day, that really is like a vacation day and they can spend the entire time running errands or taking care of house projects under the guise of “working”.

Others take their telecommuting a bit more seriously, and end up working longer hours than their office-bound counterparts in order to retain the flexibility of maintaining a home office.

You have any number of people who don’t wipe down counters, pick up paper towels off the floor. And is there really a need in an adult environment to have to post a sign that says, “do not flush paper towels, they will clog the toilet”? How many people are really doing this? Who’s taking paper towels into the toilet stall in the first place? Are they really that much more comfortable than the typical office toilet paper to use? Really? REALLY?

Web Watch knows that swimming in the ocean isn’t for everyone. If you think about it, you’re swimming in the same water that billions (billions of trillions?) of fish use as their personal bathroom every day.

Have you ever wondered why the ocean water is unusually warm on some days compared to others? It’s not because the sun warms the water — it’s because there’s more fresh pee in your immediate area than normal.
